OREANDA-NEWS. December 30, 2008. In mid-December OJSC North-West Telecom commissioned a fibre-optic communication line in the Vozhega-Verkhovazhye section in Vologda Oblast. Thus, the construction of the transport ring uniting all districts of the region in fibre-optic communication lines has been completed.  This is the first region serviced by OJSC N.W. Telecom where the fibre-optic communication network has united all district centers and digitization in intraareal transmission lines is 100%.

A zone communication network of its own on the basis of fibre-optic communication lines and the digitization of the intraareal network ensure a significant increase of the channels throughput and make it possible for OJSC N.W. Telecom to provide the most state-of-the-art communication services at a new quality level, including the broadband Internet access and other additional services, to residents of the entire region, including the most remote areas.  Besides, the availability of own intraareal fibre-optic communication network makes it possible for the Company to completely abandon the lease of intraareal channels from other telecommunication operators in the region.
